URGENT: Why you should secure your emails with Nucleo Virtru

A new form of email scams have recently surfaced.

Here is how it can happen to you:

1. You send an email involving sensitive numbers to a client. e.g. an invoice asking for payment for a project  

2. The email gets hijacked by a hacker during transmission 

3. The hacker then edits the invoice and swops out your account number with his. He sends the invoice to your intended recipient.

4. As the invoice is largely similar except for the account number, the client transfers the money into the hacker's account instead of yours.

This is an alert email for you to take precautions when sending out emails containing sensitive financial information. Read on to see how Nucleo Virtru helps to add a layer of protection for email correspondences.

How Nucleo Virtru can Help

• Encrypted email provides added privacy
  Unencrypted emails can be deciphered by hackers who monitor the traffic flow between your computer, your recipient's computer and the email servers. 
   
• Safeguard sensitive information
  Sensitive information such as payment details, vendor and client business activities and company information should be sent securely. 
   
• Additional method of authentication
  The case above was a form of undetected third party tampering, where a hacker intercepts an email on its way to its recipient. Unfortunately, in this case, the hacker was successful in tricking the recipient into making payment.
  
  If Nucleo Virtru had been used, the encrypted email could have been authenticated via Nucleo Virtru's identity confirmation process.
